“…In throwing performance, we found a higher ball velocity in the jump shot in the world‐class and top‐elite players compared with the elite players. Previous studies in female team handball showed similar results with differences in sprinting performance as well as ball velocity during a team handball throw in different performance levels . The present findings suggest that the ability for fast moving on the team handball court, including fast accelerations and decelerations, changes in directions, short sprints, team handball specific skills like tackling (in the test only mat roles and no players similar to competition), passing, catching, and throwing with a high ball velocity, is important physical determinant to become a world‐class player in adult female team handball.…”

“…Previous test studies have examined various players' general level of strength, sprint, throwing, and aerobic performance, and the present study may be the first study that enables a direct comparison of anaerobic and aerobic performance under on‐court testing conditions similar to team handball match‐play. The results clearly indicate that the world‐class players had the best anaerobic (defense and offense time, acceleration, and total fast‐break time) and aerobic (VO 2 peak) performance compared to not only elite, but also to top‐elite players.…”

“…Testing of the physical performance in female team handball has not yet been performed under match‐play conditions (including team handball specific movements), except under isolated conditions using general tests like isolated strength, sprinting, jumping, and endurance tests. Differences in general test results between performance levels, age, and playing positions were found in these tests …”

AbstractThe on-court physical performance knowledge of adult female world-class players in team handball is lacking, especially when testing specific physical performance oncourt under similar conditions as in competition. Consequently, the aims of the study were to analyze team handball on-court physical performance in elite, top-elite, and world-class female team handball players by using team handball specific testing.Ten elite, eleven top-elite, and eleven world-class adult female players performed a team handball game-based performance test. We measured oxygen uptake, heart rate, blood lactate concentration, ball velocity, and jump height in the jump shots as well as running time (in offense, defense, fast break, and retreat). Significant differences were found in peak oxygen uptake, heart rate, ball velocity, defense, offense, and fast-break time between world-class, top-elite, and elite players. During breaks, between the high-intensity movements in the game-based performance test, a worldclass player had greater increase in oxygen uptake compared with an elite player. The results of the present study clearly indicated the importance of specific agility both in offense and defense, in throwing velocity in the jump shot as well as in aerobic performance to become a world-class adult female team handball player.

“…Modern handball, although aiming at the polyvalence of the players, requires a specific body composition for a specific player's position on a team. Research has proven that there are differences in body composition of the players depending on their playing positions (Bojić et al, 2019;Weber, Wegner, & Wagner, 2018;Michalsik et al, 2013;Urban & Kandráĉ, 2013;Milanese et al, 2011;Ĉižmek, Ohnjec, Vuĉetić, & Gruić, 2010). It has been noticed that in the selection process the positions of goalkeepers and backs are given to the players who are more mature, with better anthropometric predispositions (the taller ones with longer extremities) and in better physical shape.…”

Changes in Speed, Agility and Body Composition of Top-Ranked Female Handball Players During the Playing Season

et al. 2020

Handball is a dynamic Olympic sport dominated by acyclic movements (sudden changes in direction, jumps, landings, contacts between the players, etc.) with speed and agility playing an important role in their successful realization. Our aim was to establish which changes occurred in the body composition, speed and agility of top-ranked female handball players during the playing season. The parameters for estimating body composition were: body mass, body mass index (BMI), the percentage of muscle and fat. The ability to achieve speed (in 5, 10 and 30m sprints) and agility (new envelope test without a ball, straight slalom run without a ball and Straight slalom run with a ball, zig-zag with and zig-zag without a ball) was estimated with the portable timing system. The differences between the initial and the final measurements were established with the Student’s t-test. The results obtained show that there were statistically significant changes and weaker results in almost all the tested variables. The only improvements were detected in the maximum speed in 30m sprint and the agility without a ball (new envelope test and slalom run without a ball). It is recommended that the training plan should be carefully devised (the activities of the high intensity load should be applied throughout the season) as well as the plan for proper sports nutrition (body mass should be reduced with simultaneous increase in the muscular mass component).

“…(1908), es la normalidad de los datos de las diferencias. Se procede a aplicar la prueba de Kolmogorov-Smirnov con soporte de Minitab y concluir si la muestra de datos sigue una distribución normal(Weber et al, 2018;Mohamad et al, 2016;Al-Isa, 2004). Ya que el valor p es mayor que 0.05, entonces no se rechaza la hipótesis nula de que los datos siguen una distribución normal.En la Figura 5 se presenta el valor p, además del gráfico de la probabilidad normal de la diferencia de los datos.…”

La investigación tiene como objetivo medir la efectividad del material didáctico propuesto para los alumnos de recién ingreso a licenciatura. Este material fue diseñado por la academia de profesores de las áreas de ciencias exactas que evaluaron los puntos clave para desarrollar durante el curso propedéutico de los estudiantes. La comprobación de la efectividad del material conduce a que se realice un correcto plan de mejora continua en la preparación y adaptación de los alumnos de bachillerato al programa de licenciatura. El diseño de la investigación, es de tipo confirmatoria cuantitativa deductiva, a través de pruebas de hipótesis, estimación de parámetros con intervalos de confianza, inferencia estadística, análisis descriptivos, gráficos, entre otros. Se seleccionó una muestra representativa de los estudiantes de ingreso del curso propedéutico del mes de enero del 2023. Además, se recopiló información de diferentes referencias de impacto que tratan el tema educativo y cómo funcionan las diferentes carreras y cursos propedéuticos alrededor del mundo. Los resultados concluyen con 95% de confianza que el material didáctico propuesto es de eficiencia para los alumnos de recién ingreso, además que elevan su calificación entre 2 y 10 puntos, con un promedio de mejora de 4 puntos.
